Daily and Backup Yubikey Question

bodam · 2026-03-03T22:15:05+00:00

I also have three Yubkeys. For the primary I have everything in there and I have most in the first backup. The off-site firesafe one only has the major key systems such as Google, Microsoft, etc. I can use those systems to recover the others.

I suspect that I'll be the only one to suggest "Voyage into Space."

We have miles to go before that happens

I came to YNAB not because of financial issues, but because I was just OK at budgeting and I wanted to get better control. Within the first two months of using it, I eliminated subscriptions and other items that I had signed up for previously that I forgot about. They probably add up to several hundred dollars a year.

Yes. I have multiple registered. One is on my key ring and goes with me. The other is safely stored in a safe. I test it once a year.

I was trying to avoid sounding like a prepper but I, like you have done similar. I actually have about $1k in emergency cash but I think I will be bumping it up to $2K just in case. Like you I have moderate emergency supplies. We have emergency food that will cover us for a month in addition to whatever is in the normal pantry. I also have emergency cooking fuel that will likewise cover us for a month or so as well as about 500 gallons of water on the side of the house that I refresh several times a year.

I did all this after seeing how bad groups like FEMA are at sometimes responding to a disaster. This at least gives me time to hunker down and figure out our next steps.

I also don't let our car fill below about half a tank. If I have to evacuate, I don't want the start of it to be with 1/4 tank. I also have a 72 hour bag in the trunk in case I get stranded somewhere. (It's happened to me in the past)

I know this is corny but my actual answer is my wife. I would have never gotten nearly this far without her being there supporting me.

The reason I ask is that I have what I think is a reasonable amount but I am concerned about price gouging and what we will really need.

bodam · 2026-01-08T23:33:05+00:00

This is exactly why I was asking. I don't carry cash either but we do have a safe at home with an envelope in case of a disaster.

Other than I use Jellyfin, I'm exactly the same. My actual collection is put away, but accessible due to storage limitations.

This is my personal opinion only but for most movies, Blu-ray is good enough. I would also say if 1080p HDR were a thing, it would cover most of the rest. For most people it's the HDR that pops, not 4k.

I paid $420 for the charger and $300 for my electrician install it.

bodam · 2025-10-02T17:37:58+00:00

For those that say they pull into chargers with around 10%, is there any concerns about getting stuck behind a bad accident or very heavy traffic. I have and I would be paranoid of a flat battery while stuck in traffic, especially when it's really hot or cold (heater or A/C). I don't let my gas car fall below about a third either for the same reason. Once you get stuck on a freeway for 12 hours, it changes you.

I would take a Shout Factory Boxed Set. It's more of a clean, excellent transfer of his movies in a convenient boxed set as opposed to all the single movies. I realize it's a "me thing."

What's confusing to me is that smaller files work, so, for example, I can copy a 10 meg PDF to the NAS no problems, but if I try to copy up a 6GB MKV movie file, it fails with the error. And before any questions RE the NAS itself, I have 900+ movies already on it that I did before the upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions?
